Our DNA used to be more in accord with our lives. That's how we survived rather than perished. When your DNA is too much in conflict with the world outside, the chance of survival diminishes. The good news is that in industrialized countries, people are adapting by having fewer kids and having them later. The invisible hand of the genetic marketplace, as it were. The bad news is that those who can't adapt are both getting wiped out economically and flooding the gene pool with biological and social memes that are no longer viable, a perverse double whammy. I wonder if it will cancel itself out. It certainly won't achieve any result whatsoever without a lot of pain.

Unfortunately all this says a ton about our values. Sometimes I think values have grown too passe to be bothered with.
